TLDR
In this article, the design and construction of the silicon strip microvertex detector (SMD) of the L3 experiment at LEP are described and the sensors, readout electronics, data acquisition system, mechanical assembly and support, displacement monitoring systems and radiation monitoring system of the recently installed double-sided, double-layered SMD.
Abstract
The design and construction of the silicon strip microvertex detector (SMD) of the L3 experiment at LEP are described. We present the sensors, readout electronics, data acquisition system, mechanical assembly and support, displacement monitoring systems and radiation monitoring system of the recently installed double-sided, double-layered SMD. This detector utilizes novel and sophisticated techniques for its readout.

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS)on the International Space Station : Part I - results from the test flight on the space shuttle

M. Aguilar, +226 more
- 01 Aug 2002 - 
TL;DR: The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) was flown on the space shuttle Discovery during flight STS-91 (June 1998) in a 51.7° orbit at altitudes between 320 and 390 km as discussed by the authors.

Search for heavy neutral and charged leptons in e+e− annihilation at LEP

P. Achard, +372 more
- 27 Sep 2001 - 
TL;DR: A search for exotic unstable neutral and charged heavy leptons was performed with the L3 detector at LEP as discussed by the authors, but no evidence for their existence was found and lower limits on their masses were set.

Studies of hadronic event structure in E+ E- annihilation from 30-Gev to 209-Gev with the L3 detector

P. Achard, +589 more
- 01 Sep 2004 - 
TL;DR: In this article, QCD results obtained from a study of hadronic event structure in high energy e^+e^- interactions with the L3 detector are presented, and the main results concern the measurement of the strong coupling constant, \alpha_s, from hadronic events shapes and the study of effects of soft gluon coherence through charged particle multiplicity and momentum distributions.

Single- and Multi-Photon Events with Missing Energy in e+e- Collisions at LEP

P. Achard, +364 more
- 20 Jun 2005 - 
TL;DR: A brief review of searches for physics beyond the Standard Model using single and multi-photon events with missing energy at LEP is given in this paper, including searches for supersymmetry, large extra dimensions, and anomalous neutrino production.

Double-sided readout silicon strip detectors for the aleph minivertex

TL;DR: In this paper, a double-sided readout silicon strip detector has been fabricated for the Aleph minivertex and a charge correlation has been observed between the two faces and can be used to reduce ambiguities in the case of two particles crossing the same wafer.

Construction and performance of the L3 central tracking detector

F. Beissel, +124 more
TL;DR: The L3 central tracking detector has been in operation since the start-up of LEP (Large Electron Positron collider) in 1989 as mentioned in this paper, and consists of a Time Expansion Chamber (TEC), a layer of Plastic Scintillating Fibers and a Z-chamber.
